Think of a relationship as a bank account, where you can make both deposits and
withdrawals.  You can only withdraw to the extent that you have deposited in it.
The problem with many of our relational bank accounts is that we have overdrawn
them and this can be very easily fixed by making the proper deposits.

External luxuries do not correlate to inner happiness. Pop music king Elvis Presley
had all the luxuries of the world but was still not happy. On the other hand, Helen
Keller lived a happy and contented life in spite of being both blind and deaf.
Happiness is not a function of externals but is dependent upon the inner state of
our own mind.

the outcome? WWW.JKYOG.ORG
